Needs on offense: For now, the Titans are set at offensive tackle, but OLT Michael Roos and ORT David Stewart are scheduled to be unrestricted free agents at season’s end, so the Titans may look to draft a young tackle relatively early. The Titans may also add a young receiver — the depth behind starters Roydell Williams and Justin Gage is questionable.

Needs on defense: The Titans lost DEs Antwan Odom and Travis LaBoy in free agency. Jevon Kearse is back for a second stint in Tennessee, but the Titans could use at least one young end. Defensive tackle is also a position to watch; the Titans may look for competition for starter Tony Brown. Tennessee’s LB and CB depth may be bolstered via the draft, too.

On Draft Day … Defensive end, wide receiver and offensive tackle are the three leading positions the Titans may be looking at with the No. 24 pick in Round One. The Titans may not find an immediate starter in this draft — they are coming off a 10-win season and have a solid core already assembled — but opportunities for playing time off the bench are there for the taking.
